The Ghost of a Chance: A Krewe of Hunters Novella Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 235 ratings

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Heather Graham comes a new story in her Krewe of Hunters series…

Having run into the bank to take out cash for her son’s school fair, Angela Hawkins Crow is surprised to find herself in the middle of a hostage situation. The hostage-taker is none other than Billy Mendelson, a young man suffering after a violent armed robbery attack at his home.

Angela read about the crime but is mystified by his behavior, even as he hustles her into a vault with several others. Billy was a stellar student and so much more before the events of that fateful day. How can he subject others to such violence?

Thankfully, Angela realizes someone else in the bank might be able to help her bring it all to an end—without any injuries. It’s a ghost of a chance, but one she must cling to if she wishes to save the hostages and the young man so damaged by what has befallen him.

Only a ghost of a chance…

But one she is grateful to have. And one that just might work.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

🔎✨Ghost of a Chance by Heather Graham✨🔎 FBI agents Angela and Jackson, a married couple who talk to the dead, are pulled into a tense bank robbery that quickly unravels into something darker. With ghostly help, they uncover hidden tunnels, missing bodies, and a dangerous plot led by an unexpected mastermind. Angela’s faith in Billy drives them to find the real culprits—and it’s a twisty thrill to the end! The Ghost of a Chance kept me on the edge of my seat! I loved the supernatural element and how Angela and Jackson’s partnership and belief in Billy led them to the real culprit. If you’re looking for a mystery with a ghostly edge and a thrilling plot that keeps you guessing, this one’s for you!

    Of course, any of the Krewe books are fantastic and extremely fascinating. I've been reading them from the beginning and plan to continue reading every one that comes out. I love the new Blackbird series set over seas! This one had a great storyline! I enjoyed the characters, also. I hope there'll be more Krewe and Blackbird coming out soon!!!!.

    ✨This is my 2nd 1001 Dark Nights novella and I really enjoy these because of the opportunity to read new authors! I also love that they give insight to new to me series to add to my TBR…. Not that my TBR is short. lol.

    ✨The Krewe has a special set of abilities that help them in their line of work, and for Angela it helps her on a simple bank trip that turns into a whole other situation.

    ✨The suspense of “who did it” was amazing! I was steadily trying to find clues to point to who the mastermind was and I was definitely wrong!! 😂🙈

    ✨I read this as a stand alone and did not feel that any details were missing from the novella for me to follow the story and enjoy it!!

    ✨This is definitely a series I will be adding to my TBR to see more jobs that the Krewe team goes on, and how they receive these jobs!

    So nice to have an extra book from heather graham. I've been scooping them up as quick as they come out. I really enjoyed this storyline and how it brought in the past history. I had my doubts with billy and kenneth. Crazy there was monsters. Excellent.

    Great novella. Nice to catch up with the Crow family. Even a brilliant and dashing ghost hero spices up the story.

    I was given The Ghost of a Chance as an advanced reader copy, and I am so happy I was given the opportunity to read it. It looks like I will be adding a new series into my TBR. This is a short Novella, but it was enough to suck me in and interested enough to want to jump into the series from the beginning!
    If you like crime investigation with a little help from ghosts, you need to grab this Novella!
    This book starts off with a bank robbery, and leads to tunnels used in the underground Rail Road.
    This was a fun easy read and a great way to jump into this series to get a feel for it.
